Okay, we got the heads up from the White House. I think the President's about to take the stage. But I've got Sally Grubbs. I want to try to finish up with her. I know people's heads are blowing up already. Paul Sperry is one of the heaviest. I tell you what, we're going to cut to the stage. Sally, I'm going to get back to you. President states from the Executive Office Building on affordability of health care.
- [00:23]
B
Four months ago, I stood before you to announce the launch of the Trump Rx, a brand new website featuring the largest discounts on prescription drugs in the history of our country. History, frankly, of any country. And for decades, Americans paid the highest drug prices anywhere in the world by far. But under the most favored nation agreements I negotiated, we now pay the lowest price paid for anybody in any country. We went from the highest to the lowest. And I think outside of maybe a cure itself, it's the biggest thing to happen to health care. And everything having to do with medical in any, in any way, shape or form. There's never been anything like this. We think of it, we went from the most expensive to the least expensive. So we've slashed the price of dozens of commonly used prescription drugs by differences of 400, 500 and even 600. In my first term, I got it down 1/8 of 1%, is the first time in 28 years it went down 1/8 of 1. And now we're talking about 4 or 5 and 6 and even 700%, including for weight loss, drugs, fertility treatments, insulin, and much, much more. Since that launch in February, TrumpRx.gov has already been visited more than 10 million times and has saved American consumers over $400 million already. And it's really the hottest thing in medicine. It's been amazing. Dr. Oz, how's it doing? Bobby was there. He said nobody's ever seen anything like this. So it's great. People are saving a lot of money over the next 10 years. The council of Economic Advisers estimates that our most favored nation drug policies will save Americans over $500 billion. And this has been the greatest breakthrough in lowering health care costs in modern history. But we're just sort of getting started, actually, because we have a lot more to come. So today I'm thrilled to announce that we're increasing the number of drugs available on Trump rx by nearly seven times, adding over 600 affordable generics to the website. Working with industry partners, cost effective generic drugs are often available at just A tiny fraction of the price of their brand name equivalents. And in theory, they're the same thing. Sometimes they're better with the same dosage, the same effectiveness and the same active ingredients. Yet many consumers do not think to ask for them. They don't know about them. By incorporating this massive catalog of low cost generics@TrumpRx.gov, consumers will now have one source to ensure that they're getting the lowest possible cost of on their prescription. So they have a real option now. Today they have something that they've never had before. They've never had anything like this or even close. With these additions, Trump Rx will feature the best and lowest prices on prescriptions used by tens of millions of Americans already. And in some cases, the discounted generics available through Trump Rx may be offered at an even lower cash price than the out of pocket insurance cost, which has always been the lowest. We're going to be lower. This means that the Trump rx.gov should always be your first stop before you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription. And you'll certainly be checking on your pharmacy by doing this. And at, at a minimum, you'll know what you're supposed to be paying. I want to thank the leaders of several major pharmacies and generic drug makers who are partnering with us on this effort, including the co founder of Cost plus Drugs, Mark Cuban. Mark, thank you very much. Mark, looking good. Mark, come here. Mark. Nice to be here. Thank you sir, appreciate it. We have the same thing, one thing in common. We want to make people better and keep them wealthy. Right. Good to be with you. Vice President of Amazon Pharmacy, Tanvi Patel. Thank you very much. And the president of RX Marketplace at Goodrx, Aaron Crittenden. Aaron, thank you very much. Great job you're doing with these companies as partners. We're also getting and adding new tools to take over websites which will connect patients with the lowest priced pharmacy right in their own neighborhood. Or alternatively give them the option of getting a discounted prescription ships straight to their door. They can have it delivered right to their front door. This will provide American consumers with new options, more savings and unprecedented price transparency. Putting billions and billions of dollars back into the pockets of hardworking Americans. What a difference it's going to make at the end of a week. For generations, drug prices have only gone up. And under my administration, for the first time in history, drug prices are coming down. And they are coming down very, very dramatically and substantially. Politicians from both parties promised for decades to make healthcare more affordable. But they all failed, every single one of them. And when they thought they had it, they couldn't get other countries to go along. I got all the other countries to come along. I said, you don't come along, we're going to tariff you. And they all said, we'd love to come along, sir, but I'm actually getting it done. And I don't care how I do it, I got to get it done. For the people, I want to thank the incredible team behind this historic accomplishment, including Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Bobby Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz. What a team. What a team this is. And Chief Counselor of Health and Human Services Chris Klomp. And I also especially have to thank the genius behind the world class website that will soon be serving hundreds of millions of Americans, Airbnb co founder and Chief Design Officer of the United States, Joe Gebbia, who's really amazing, and Ed Korestein and the team at the National Design Studio, which is as good as you get. Under my America by Design executive order. Joe and his design team have been working to make your government more beautiful, more modern, convenient and effective. In addition to the Trump Rx website, they've built the amazing experience behind TrumpAccounts.gov and the new food pyramid Freedom 250 and much more. They're doing a job for the country. Like I can say, design wise, nobody has ever seen. So, Joe, please show us how Trump Rx is bringing the modern face to health care and really helping us to save lots of money and lots of lives. Joe, please. Thank you.

In just months, Trumper X has accomplished what Washington said couldn't be done. Those numbers you shared represent huge savings at real scale for real Americans. And none of this would be possible without your leadership and your belief that Americans deserve better health. So today's great announcements of more drugs, more pharmacies and home delivery are making health care simpler and smarter for Americans. Let's go live to the new TrumpRx experience. So that $400 million saved for Americans, that means better living and less stress for millions of families. So let's browse some of those medications immediately. You'll see a new section called Presidential Deals. These are some of the most affordable brand name drugs in America made possible thanks to our President's legendary deal making. So let's take a look at a few of these. This is Fondao, the new GLP1 pill, 77% off. This is the insulin medication. 72% off. This is Trulicity. 61% off. These are life saving, life changing savings for millions of Americans. Now, search also got smarter too. You can now look up brand name drugs and see the generic version. Let's try a brand drug named Glucophage. It's for diabetes and it costs around $20. So search now shows the lower cost option, Metformin. Metformin has the same active ingredients, but now watch this. The price, $8.42. So you found an affordable price. Now where do you get it? You can find your trusted pharmacy in one search. Watch how easy this is. I'll use mine. Capsule pharmacy. Boom, there it is. Now we also created another way to find the best price. Introducing map search. For the first time. You can see chain and local independent pharmacies on the same map. So here's my location. I see an option here at a pharmacy for $18 and a block away, $8.42. Now you can compare for the best medicine prices. As easy as it is to compare hotels or Airbnbs or baseball tickets, this is simple, transparent healthcare pricing. So when I find what I'm looking for, I take this coupon, show it to the pharmacist, and I get the Trump or X price. That simplicity is why Trump or X has taken off nationwide. Okay, there's one more thing. Today we added new partners for fast home prescription delivery. I can actually get this medicine to my door in a day or so. So from search to savings to satisfaction, this is healthcare built for modern life. You compare prices on flights, why not medicine? Don't just fill your prescription. Trump or exit. Because the strongest nation on earth, America, starts with the healthiest people on earth. Mr. President, back to you.

Thank you, Joe. Great job. Beautiful. Thank you. Well, thank you very much. Really amazing the job you've done. And so quickly. Now I'd like to ask Secretary Kennedy to say a few words and Dr. Oz and Mark Cuban and Chris Clump and we'll take a couple of questions maybe at the end. Thank you. Bobby, please.

A
Thank you, Mr. President. The epidemic of chronic disease in this country is now existential. If you include my agency, plus Social Security and the VA, Americans now spend 48 cents out of every dollar that we spend. Federal taxes now go to health care. 90% of that is for chronic disease. And those costs are increasing at 2% at greater speed than the GDP. In addition to that, it poses an existential threat to our national security. 77% of American kids cannot qualify for military service. President Trump has pledged to end the chronic disease epidemic. But in the meantime, many people need medications to treat their chronic disease. And President Trump has asked us to make this, our country, the most affordable medication in the world, and he succeeded in doing that. And I want to say one last thing. President Bush promised to do this. President Clinton promised to do it. President Biden promised to do it. President Obama promised promised to do it. President Trump actually got it done. And it's an extraordinary accomplishment. It's an extraordinary legacy for him, and it's a gift to the American people. And I want to thank you again for your vision and for your determination.

This is yet another example of this administration, the president's leadership, making life more affordable. And it's in a particularly important arena because almost one in three Americans, when they go to a drugstore, cannot afford to pick up the medications that their doctor prescribed for them. And part of the reason for that, which the president recognized early on and pushed hard until it got done, because it was a force of his personality that allowed us to go to all the major pharmaceutical companies representing the vast majority of the marketplace of branded drugs in America. But what he realized was we're paying three times more for the exact same drugs made in the same facilities often in this country then people overseas are paying for those exact same drugs. Whether it's weight loss drugs, fertility drugs, you name it, we're overpaying for it. President wanted that stopped. He wanted to stop now, and so he did it. The most favored nation drug pricing approach works using a variety of techniques that he outlined. But we needed to make sure you had an ability to access these drugs. Trumprx.gov is a phenomenon. Over 10 million people have visited the site. It is the fastest site of its kind I've ever seen. As a physician who's used to looking at medications, having no idea what the patient will pay, it's as transparent as you just saw. Built by the fantastic team with Joe Jebia. They have added. They started with dozens of medications, Mr. President, which is the number of medications that had been negotiated by Chris Clump and the team at HHS. Today, 601 more medications were added. 601 more. As the President said, seven times more drugs are now in this list, which means something really important. You should not buy a drug in America without first checking the best transparency site ever created for medications to make sure you're not being taken advantage of. You wouldn't go grocery shopping without knowing prices. You wouldn't buy a car without knowing prices, lease an apartment or anything else, you shouldn't do it with the medications that could save your life. We believe that more than half of all the prescription interactions in America are now going to be revealed on Trump Rx. If you wish to use the site in any capacity, this is a time to start. It's a technological feat. It's created transparency with no middlemen, just what the president promised. And for that reason, we ask you today to go look at the site. TrumpRx.gov ask us to put you on our mailing list. So when the team at the National Design Studio wants to contact you about new medications that are being offered, new ways for you to save money, new ways for you to make health more affordable so your zip code doesn't determine your health, you'll have trumprx.gov to go to. Mark Cuban has been an outspoken advocate for more transparency in medications. He built a business around it, and he's one of the companies that's joining us now to put their products on TrumpRx.gov mark,

Thank you for having me.
- [14:49]
F
Mr. President, I think other than you, I've been the biggest proponent of TrumpRx.com and the reason for that is Republicans want cheaper drugs, Independents want cheaper drugs, Democrats want cheaper drugs, and together I think we're going to do something special. What makes cost plus drugs different is that when you click through Trump Rx to our site, not only will you see a great price, but you'll see our actual cost and that we only mark it up 15%. And what makes this incredible, Mr. President, all the volume and all the people that are going to come from the site, as our volumes go up, our costs go down, which means we'll be ending up charging less to people over a period of time. So this is a special announcement. This is a special partnership. 559 of those drugs are ours. So we're really excited to be part of this. Thank you so much for having me. And I'll turn it over to Chris Clough.
- [15:39]
B
Thank you. Thank you.

So you've just heard about the addition of generic medications on Trump Rx, which is fantastic. Trump RX is now the true single source of truth for the lowest prices for American families on their prescription medications. But what matters even more is what comes next. So we are on an irreversible trajectory. An American family right now taking a GLP one will save this year right now about $1,800 less than they would have for four months ago before the advent of TrumpRx.gov an American family trying to conceive and needing fertility medications will save nearly $6,000 per live birth right now thanks to TrumpRx.gov that's nearly $5 billion going to the pockets of hopeful parents over the next decade. So how do we achieve this? By proving that in America you can do well by doing good. Trump RX has created a revolutionary vehicle for a true public private partnership. Private innovators are stepping up to the plate and they're doing it not just because it's the right business decision, but it's the right moral decision. So to accelerate this process, we will continue focusing on three things. The same three things we talked about you in our last conversation on Most favor Nation pricing, led by the President. First, we continue to bring additional industry partners on board. Last time we had a conversation with you about mfn, we put out a call to small and mid sized biotechnology manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to come sit with us to make their product portfolios available at MFN prices. We said that we would be fair and we would be reasonable. And the industry has answered that call. We've been inundated with demand for discussions to ensure that every American family can continue to access MFN prices, not just for the companies that have been negotiated, but for the many that are yet to come. Number two, as the President mentioned, we, we are continuing to negotiate international trade agreements. Those are well underway, working lockstep with our partners at trade and at commerce. And number three, legislation, we are continuing discussions on the Hill with Congress to ensure that the President's great health care plan lasts for decades to come, guaranteeing greater affordability, greater accountability, greater transparency for every American family. It turns out, as Mark said, there is appetite on both sides of the aisle to make progress on this important point. When a parent goes to the pharmacy, they're not thinking about political ideology. They're thinking about what's best for their family. And today, leaders across the spectrum, irrespective of their party, are standing together because Americans demand affordable health care. And it's an American imperative. This president has set us on a course to permanently benefit from lower drug prices as a country. The foundation is built, the market is engaged, the future is affordable. And I yield the podium back to the man who made all this possible. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [18:36]
B
Would you like to say something? You're over there. You look so beautiful and nice. You two, come on over here. Just say a couple of words about thank you.
- [18:45]
H
Thank you, Mr. President, for having Amazon here today. It's really great to work with the administration and the NDS on building Trump Rx at Amazon Pharmacy. It's been our mission to build a pharmacy with price transparency from day one. And it's been our mission to make sure that Americans who need their medications know how much they're going to pay out of pocket for brand or generic medications. It's what we're built around, whether you're paying cash or insurance. And we look forward to continuing to innovate on this.
- [19:09]
B
Thank you very much. Thank you. Good luck with it.
- [19:13]
C
I'm going to move this up just slightly.
- [19:16]
D
Thank you for having us on behalf of Goodrx.
- [19:18]
C
Look, we have shared mission as everyone up here to deliver healthcare that's affordable to every American. We couldn't be prouder by what you're
- [19:24]
E
doing and be a part of it.
- [19:25]
C
So thank you so much.
- [19:29]
B
Well, thank you very much. Any questions of these brilliant, these brilliant people? Yeah, please go ahead. Go ahead. Yes, the white. Yes, they're giving a briefing on it a little while at the mosque. They're giving a briefing and terrible situation. I've been given some early updates, but we're going to be going back and looking at it very strongly. Yeah, please.
- [20:00]
I
Can you speak a little about your.
- [20:03]
C
Can you speak a little bit about your pulse on true social on Iran
- [20:07]
D
and what was the decision that why you didn't attack Iran?
- [20:11]
B
Well, other countries have come to me and they've said we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow. I've put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever, but possibly for a little while because we've had very big discussions with Iran and we'll see what they amount to. I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and some others if we could put it off for two or three days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal. And if we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, I think and if they're satisfied, we will be probably satisfied. Also. We've informed Israel, we've informed other people in the Middle east that have been involved with us. And, you know, it's a very positive development, but we'll see whether or not it amounts to anything. We've had periods of time where we had, we thought pretty much getting close to making a deal and didn't work out. But this is a little bit different now. We're ready, going tomorrow, very big and not something I wanted to do. But we have no choice because we cannot let Iran Have a nuclear weapon? Yeah, please.
- [21:21]
I
Mr. President, the Justice Department has this new fund that was announced today, $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January.
- [21:32]
B
Well, it's been very well received. I have to tell you. I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in. In the whole creation of it and the negotiation. But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated. Horribly treated. It's anti weaponization. They've been weaponized. They've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt. Their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right. I mean, it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country, and they worked on it. I know the Justice Department, it's really been working on it very hard. There's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been done, but these were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt, with corrupt people running it, and they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer. Yeah, please, Daniel, go ahead. I'll let. Daniel, please. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [22:32]
D
It's pretty remarkable seeing you and Mark Cuban up there and the fact that obviously Mark endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2020.
- [22:39]
B
Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake.
- [22:42]
D
What does this say about what you two are building here?
- [22:45]
B
Well, it says, we love people. We love our country. He wants to. He's got a good company, and he's going to do a lot of business with this. And I'm going to get drugs out through Amazon, through the whole group, and we're going to get drugs out. And Mark wanted to be a part of it. And I think Mark was very gracious. He said, this is something that really works the first time you've seen it. And he had to believe that if he said it about me. You have to understand that. But look, I think I have a lot of respect for Mark Franklin. I always have. And then. Go ahead. Ebola. Ebola, yes.
- [23:23]
D
Should Americans be cold, concerned about Ebola?
- [23:25]
B
I'm concerned about everything, but certainly am. I think that, you know, it's been confined right now to Africa and. But it's something that has had a breakout. I could ask Bobby or us to say a couple of words about, if you'd like to do that.
- [23:44]
E
I think Heidi Overton is going to come up and give us a few words. Dr. Overton, thank you.
- [23:50]
I
Thank you, Mr. President. Today, the CDC held a press briefing that provided a lot of the answers and information, but we have stood up a full interagency response. The Department of State, the cdc, the Department of War, everyone is fully involved in tracking this today. We do have and announced today at the press briefing there is an American that is symptomatic and has tested positive for. It's the Bundi Buja virus, a strain of Ebola. That American as well as six other high risk contacts are going to be taken out of that region and taken to Germany. We want to thank our German counterparts. That is an internationally recognized location for viral hemorrhagic fever treatments. So we're very grateful that they would take them. It's a significantly shorter flight time for Americans to receive treatment there in Germany. For all other Americans, we have issued travel warnings. We have instituted just today entry restrictions for non US Citizens that have been in the region in the past 21 days. So in Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan. So very serious measures that have been taken. We are working to communicate very frequently with everyone. Your question was should Americans be worried right now? There are no cases of Ebola in America. We want to keep it that way and we are doing everything we can to support Americans in the region. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [25:18]
B
Mr. President Trump, Trump.
- [25:20]
J
President Trump, over here.
- [25:21]
B
President Trump, go ahead. On Iran. Mr. Follow up on Iran.
- [25:26]
K
Other countries have done this before. They have asked you to change course in order to dangle. They dangled a peace deal in front of you, saying one was coming. Nothing has come into fruition. You mentioned this.
- [25:38]
B
Well, a lot's come into fruition. We've taken a country that was going to have a nuclear weapon and we've virtually destroyed its military. They have no navy. They have no air force. They've been every, they've been virtually destroyed militarily. That's a lot. That's a big. We could leave right now would take them 25 years to rebuild. The last thing they're thinking about, I think, is nuclear. Now they have to put it down in writing. But when you say nothing, we've, we've totally destroyed, excuse me, from cnn. We've totally destroyed their military. We've destroyed their leadership. As you know, their leaders are gone. Their leaders are gone. At the first level. The second level, we're dealing with half of the third level. And I think we've made a lot of progress and it's very simple. You know, we don't want to go through this. We had the greatest economy ever. We still do. The stock market at a brand new high a little while ago. I never thought that was going to happen. We had to make the excursion. You know, we hit 50,000 on the Dow. We had 7,000 on the S and P. And everyone said that couldn't be done within my four years. It would be too, too big. Well, we did it in my first year. And then I called Scott and Howard. I called them all into my office. I said, we're going to take a little excursion down to the Middle east and we're going to confront Iran because they are desperate to have a nuclear weapon and the only reason they want it is to use it. And I said, I hate to do this because we're doing so well, but this is the most important thing we can do. We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So we did that. And when we did that, we were met with a little force and we ended up destroying them. We now have a tremendous. We built really a steel wall where no boats. The blockade where no boats are able to. Not one boat has been able to get through our blockade. Look, our military is the greatest military in anywhere in the world. I just left China, and I will say President Xi was very, very complimentary of our military. He was amazed, actually, at our military. We have the greatest military in the world. We're not going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So I was called by these three countries, plus others, and they're dealing directly with our people and right now, Iran. And there seems to be a very good chance that they can work something out. If we can do that without bombing the hell out of them, I'd be very happy.
- [27:52]
K
Please, I have a question on weapon. Do you believe that people who committed violence against Capitol Hill Police officers on January 6th should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund? And are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund?
- [28:09]
B
It'll all be dependent on a committee. A committee's being set up. A very talented people, very highly respected people. I think it's a committee of five. And again, I didn't do this deal. It was told to me yesterday. They said they're doing something. I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed. You have families absolutely destroyed. And it's all going to be determined by a committee of four or five people that are respected and very brilliant at what they do. Yeah, please, go ahead. No, no, one at a time, please. In the blue. Yeah, thank you. In the blue. Yes, go ahead, please.
- [28:45]
K
Thank you, Mr. President. On election integrity. So a Lot of Republicans, including, including you are speaking out against a massive mail in ballot era in Maryland.
- [28:54]
B
Yeah, terrible.
- [28:55]
K
How concerned are you about election integrity as Americans are heading into the midterms?
- [28:59]
B
I'm very concerned about it. I'm very concerned about mail in ballots. We're the only country in the world that's doing mail in ballots. And mail in ballot is, by just the nature of it, it's going to be corrupt. So many people handle it. You go into a well run voting booth and a certain state, you know, we'll pick a state, but you go into and I mean they look, even me, I went in Florida and went to vote and they said, sir, I hate to do that, I'm so embarrassed. Could I see your identification? I said, really? Do you really want to do that? Please sir, I'll lose my job if I don't do it. I very, I was very proud to enter identification and everything else. I mean, you want to have proof of citizenship, you want to have a voter id, you want to have all these things. But to me, maybe the worst of all is the mail in ballots, where they come in. So as you know, in Maryland, 500,000 fake ballots were sent out. When they were caught, they said, oh, we'll pull them back. And they issued 500,000 new ballots and as you know, they never got the original ballots back. So there are a million ballots out there. Many of them went to Democrats and it's a very serious thing. And I'll tell you, I've looked at Maryland for a long time and I know Maryland pretty well and I was told that it's automatically a Democrat state. And I don't believe that because I think I did really well there and I don't believe it. But they issued, as you just got caught recently, 5,500,000 ballots, illegal ballots were sent out and they were totally fraudulent. And then they said, oh, we'll pull them back. Well, they didn't pull them back and they have 500,000 new ballots going. So what happens to the original? Are they going to come in and are they going to come in and infect our system? So it's a very, very serious thing that's happened and I've asked the law enforcement to look at it very, very strenuously. I want to thank you all. This is so, we're so proud of it. And I want to thank Bobby and Oz and Mark and all of the people that are here. And Joe, great job. You are really something. I heard about you for a long time and now you're doing something that's more important than anything you've ever done and you've done some beauties. Thank you very much, Joe. Thank you very much, everybody. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, the President states right there with Trump, our ex Mark Cuban making good with Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban. Hey, let's be blunt. Not a fan of President Trump has said some of the worst things ever about him. But his company is one of the providers here, I guess at a 15 markup. One of the providers of the, of the, of the drug. So right there you had the Trump rx. They walked through the. A brief presentation on the website. Of course you had Bobby Kennedy talk and, and others talk seems to be like it's a success people. I think they've had 10 million visits to it already. I believe it was Dr. Oz said they haven't had a launch in a site like this in history. And so we want to make sure that they get. Since the other networks won't cover this and we'll talk about it. We want to make sure that President Trump and the administration get a shot to, to tell you about it. And obviously people are using it and President Trump is and Bobby Kennedy have made a, have made a big deal about it and are working together even with people that are not particularly fans like, like Bobby Kennedy or like Mark Cuban who has said some of the, the worst things about it. We're going to get Tony Lyons up. We're going to go back to Georgia. You heard the president right there talking about this mainland ballot fiasco in Maryland. I have Mike Lindell before we talk about your Minnesota or the company and the deals. You have been the leading voice for election integrity. I think you spent, I think for lawyers and travel and everything and paying consultants. I think you spent upwards of $80 million. That's one of the reasons the company had a. And not just that you got canceled by Walmart. You got canceled by Big Box and remember you were the most profitable. The way these stores run is called sku skus sk and they teach you at Harvard Business School that skus are where all the, all the economics are. All the economics are right there. You had the Highest, most profitable SKUs in most profitable SKUs in Walmart, in the big Box, in the cancer. By the way, we're going to get back to Sally Grub here in a second. We're going to drill down on Georgia. I want to get Mike where I can. They canceled you because of your stand on, on election integrity and you have been adamant, sir. You've been adamant and we played at the beginning of the show Maria Bartiromo yesterday talking to Todd Blanche and Todd Blanche say, look, there's a lot of evidence out there. Do you believe, sir, that the 2020 election was stolen?
- [33:55]
L
100%. There's no, there's only one truth, everybody. And over four years, remember I formed the Constable of America, the election Crime Bureau. I had three summits, three movies. It doesn't matter what camera angle you use or what evidence you get. There's only one truth. That 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. Remember, remember the Democrats, Hillary 65 million, Obama 68 million, Biden 81 million and then Harris 66 million. What? Where's these other 15 million votes coming from? Computers and the theft of an election? Everything I've had, everything we did, everything we put together, which I turned in last February and now we have a 800 page report. Every piece of evidence I vote through us like a hub of a wheel. And it all got turned into the government and now it's all coming out because they can't cover it up anymore. We broke through the biggest cover up, Steve, of the biggest potential crime the world has ever seen. And that would be taking the United States without firing a shot.
- [35:00]
C
But I want to answer. Hang on, I've got. Sally Grubb's going to join us here in a minute. She was on before we went to the president on the health care. Sally's now on the Georgia election board. I think she, when she first came on the show six years ago. She's just a citizen, private citizen. Why is Georgia, you got all these problems all over the country, but Georgia is one. Not like Michigan or a lot like Pennsylvania where they had kind of split jurisdiction and you know, maybe a House, maybe a Senate that was Democratic there. You had a House Republican, a Senate Republican, you know, Senate Republicans. You had the legislature, you had the election officials. Your favorite Raffensperger Republican, he's running for governor now because he's done such a good job. How did we get such a bad, how do we get such a bad outcome in, in the state of Georgia,
- [35:45]
L
sir, It's called Uniparty Republicans. And you, when Pete, when politicians like crooked Brad Ratzenberger and Brian Kemp and Kris Carr, I call them the triple count of crime. These people, Ratzenberger, I would put him up with the worst, the biggest criminal politician that ever lived. I mean he, these guys down there, just because they have an R by their name. When you have an agenda, I mean when you do something that's a deviation from behavior. These were Republicans and there's a deviation there. They either have a hit, they have a hidden agenda. It's either evil, a personal hidden agenda, or part of this uni party takeover of our country. The deep state ccp, the globalists and the uniparty, which I believe had tried to take our country. Ratzenberger leads the pact on there. So of course you're gonna have Georgia where it's funny that I probably spent more time and more investigations in Georgia than any other state. And because I was so after Ratzenberger and what a shame, he's running for governor. People down in Georgia, you better look at what you're voting in down there. I'll tell you, I would take anyone over crooked Brad.
- [36:57]
C
And by the way, Kemp was secretary of state there for a year. The whole thing's a racket. It's a total racket.
- [37:01]
L
Anyway, Mike, it's like the mafia when they say the devil went down to Georgia. His name was old Brad Ratzenberger.
- [37:10]
C
Talk to me about the deals. Talk to me about the company, the deals. You spent $80 million of your own money to sort this mess out. They thought the company's gonna go into business. You wouldn't allow it to go out of business. The employees are great. The Warren posse supported you. Now you're back, you're strong, you got a great new facility deal. This is where deals collide. What do you got for us?
- [37:34]
L

But that sale, we have our four flagship products. This is our Giza Dream sheets as low as 29.98. We've got our towels, six piece towel sets. The best towels ever. $34.98.

Thank you M. We'll see you in the morning. Thank you Mike. Stick around. Tony Lyons on what you just heard on the healthcare Sally Grub, Cleta Mitchell, Garland Favorito in Georgia. Next in the war room. Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes and years? Now is the time to resolve your tax matters. With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before. They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens and collecting billions more in recent years. If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement and even your home if you owe or haven't filed. It's not a question of if the IRS will act, it's a question of when it will act.

Today we are getting some new information on who the actual victim was here that we believe was shot by an active shooter there at the situation. The chairman of this mosque is telling the New York Times that the person was killed was a security guard who worked there on site. And that of course, tracks with what we heard earlier from the eyewitness who said that it appears that that person was wearing some type of uniform. Again, the new information appears that that person, according to the mosque, was a security guard. And you know, obviously in this heightened threat environment, it's often they are the front line of defense. Defense for people who are simply trying to go about their day and worship as they see as they choose to do. We're in an era where oftentimes these organizations have to have their own security. And here tragically we are hearing that it was indeed a security guard who then fell victim to gunfire. Here, of course, we don't yet know if this is if there was some type of engagement with the shooter or whether this person was targeted with the security officer, officer with the person fired and the security officer was then responding. And you know, obviously tragically life taken in this incident. But that critical piece of new information, we don't yet know if there are any additional victims that may have been inside as well as of right now, no reports of any additional injuries. And critically, we're not seeing the influx of ambulances that we often, you know, sadly see in mass shooting type situations.
- [46:16]
J
We had a lovely dinner and at the end of it he wanted to know why he won Florida but maybe struggled in some other states that I think we're going to find out he actually did win. But I wrote like an after action report, gave it to him to read.
- [46:34]
K
So she just said that we're going to find out that President Trump actually did win certain states in the 2020 election. Now the president says all the time time that the election was rigged. What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the election was rigged? What can you tell us?
- [46:50]
N
Well, there's a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That's not something the DOJ needs to, needs to tell you about. There's been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia and Fulton County, Georgia, and that's exactly what we're at looking, looking at us. By the way, this is very difficult because they're very good, they're very good at hiding up, misconduct and hiding, hiding what they're doing. And so that's why we're very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter. And that's what we're doing in multiple states. And, and, and, and I expect, and again, people, you'll say to me, how long has it taken? Why is it taking so long? And the reality, the answer to that is because it takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020. It takes a lot of old, good old fashioned law enforcement, police work, which is what we're doing. And we have great prosecutors working on it as well. And I expect that. And I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it's charges, whether it's a report, whether it's the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what uncovered.
- [48:00]
K
Yeah, so, so in other words, what you're saying is that you have in fact seen evidence that people voted who should not have voted, whether it be through mail in ballots, ballots coming from empty parking lots or dead people, whatever, or from illegals. Is that what you're, is that was
- [48:15]
N
your suggesting, Maria, during the Biden administration, they didn't charge a single individual with illegally voting. Just last year we charged dozens and we're investigating a ton more. And so that's exactly what I'm saying. We know that there were people who voted who were not eligible to vote. We've charged some of them, we charged some of them in the past year. We're investigating a ton more right now. And so that's, that's the tip of the iceberg of what we're doing. But yes, I can flat out say because of that, that, yes, that happened.
- [48:44]
K
All right, so you believe there will be at some point a definitive answer to whether or not the 2020 election was stolen?
- [48:52]
N
I don't, I'm not going to promise there's going to be A definitive answer. That wouldn't be fair to you or anybody else. But we are looking at it and we're hoping to get one.
- [49:00]
C
The appropriate answer, acting attorney general, is yes, we will get to a definitive answer. There's no doubt about that. The people need it. The country needs it. I mean it's ridiculous. Okay, let's give some logistics here. It's Monday 18th May, year of order 2026. Early voting started in Texas. The results of Louisiana. We're going to talk about so much going on around the country, Kentucky grassroots efforts. The president's about to he's running now about 40 minutes, 35 minutes late. There's going to be an event. I think it's over in the executive office building on the White House compound. He's going to address healthcare affordability. A major event today, scheduled White House I've talked about in the morning show, supposed to start at 4:30. He's running late. We're going to go on with the show as soon as he takes the podium. We're going to cut live to that. And of course the war room. We're here to 7 o' clock tonight. So we'll come back. Sally Grubbs in, Maria Bartiromo I think was hinting at this and today had Paul Sperry at the New York Post and others put up and if Denver can put up this, this tweet, the tweet's so mind blowing. Why don't you take it through us because it looks, we think Georgia is a festering sore. We understand you have fought for years. You're now on the Georgia election board. You started as a concerned citizen. It's outrageous what's happened down there. It's more outrageous that the Republican establishment is at least in on the COVID up. Right? I mean their hands are totally dirty. Everybody's fighting you. Can you walk me through what Sperry talks about today? A bunker, Atlanta, Fulton County. What in the hell's going on, ma'? Am.
- [50:40]
J
So, Steve, tomorrow is our primary election. We've been having three weeks of early voting. Tomorrow is primary election day. You know, we have a state senate, I mean a senate race that's going on. We have all kinds of races that are happening for constitutional officers. And there is a what I'll call a election night reporting room that is in a location that's commonly referred to as the bunker that is at a facility somewhere in metro Atlanta. And that's where all the county reportings of 159 counties report their totals that are then aggregated into the election night results for the entire state of Georgia. And so this has been going on for months where we on the state election board have requested admittance into the facility to observe election night reporting, according to Georgia law and Georgia County.
- [51:34]
C
Hold it. Hang on, hang on, Sally. As a member of the Georgia Election Board, and it's not a huge board, you've already toured the facility and had a walkthrough of the processes and everything. You've already done that. You've checked that box. So you're asking to be there live on election night, but you've actually gone with other members of the Georgia Election Board and reviewed this operation and had a full briefing, ma'.
- [51:55]
B
Am.
- [51:56]
J
No, absolutely not, Steve. And that's part of the problem. We've requested that. We've requested to know who's there, who was there for the aggregation of the votes and the review of the counts and things like that. And we have never been given admittance. No, sir. There are previous board members. There is the chairman of the board, John Favier, who was there last year. Excuse me, in 2024. He was there. There have been prior members who have been admitted, but now we're not allowed to be there. No. So I have never been in the facility. I don't know what the setup is. I don't know who all is there. It's a complete enigma to me at this point.
- [52:37]
C
So Garland Favorito's got a quote in here, but just let me read for Paul Sperry. Breaking news. Georgia's 2026 election results will be aggregated on election night by the Secretary of State from a secret emergency bunker which is off limits to candidates, the public, and even to the state election board, which has requested access. The exact location of the bunker somewhere in metro Atlanta area is undisclosed. You got to help me out here. You are a member of the Georgia State Election Board, are you not, ma'?
- [53:13]
B
Am?
- [53:13]
J
I am. I am. I was appointed by our Lieutenant Governor, Burt Jones, as heading up the Senate. So I'm the Senate appointee to the Georgia State Election Board. That's correct.
- [53:23]
C
What is, what is the mandate of the election board overall? And you as an individual member, ma', am, what is your mandate?
- [53:31]
J
My mandate is to see that we follow the official code of Georgia. This is our. Our bible, so to speak, of election laws and election rules. And I want to see that we have free and fair elections in Georgia and just to be sure that the reporting is done fairly and accurately and to provide oversight. Steve, quite frankly. And we have a secretary of state who is now running for governor of the state of Georgia, who is in charge of our elections. So some might consider that to be a conflict of interest in deciding who gets in and who's excluded.
- [54:07]
C
But Georgia, the regulations, in other words, you're required by being on the Georgia Election Board to make sure that the elections in Georgia are run in accordance with existing Georgia law. Is that basically correct?
- [54:23]
J
That is correct. Our job is to promulgate rules and to hear cases, to hear complaints and things of that nature. So, yes, we, we are charged with following the law and we are charged with performing duties that the legislature has ascribed to us, just like we have a situation as well, Steve, where as of July 1, the QR codes cannot be used to tabulate the ballots. But yet we have the authority, in my opinion, under Georgia code to implement the backup balloting plan, which would be the use of handmark paper ballots after July 1st in these elections. And so far, we're just being shut down at every turn, Steve. It's really a travesty.
- [55:08]
C
But hang on. If Denver could please put back up Paul Sperry's I'm just quoting and Paul Sperry's quoting from Georgia code about elections. State law specifically prohibits such secrecy as this secret bunker of which you think it's somewhere in the in the metro Atlanta area, but you don't know. And I want to quote from the Georgia code. Superintendents, poll officers and other officials engage in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter. That's 212406 shall perform their duties in public, end quote. How could it be clearer than that, ma'?
- [55:48]
B
Am.
- [55:48]
C
How could it be clearer than that?
- [55:51]
J
I think it's pretty clear. And as the secretary of state, as the chief elections officer, I think, you know, he, he has a duty to do this in public and we have the duty to provide oversight. And I believe that both the parties, both the Democrats and Republicans, both need to have their watchers available and present, do the same thing. If you look in 212408, there are rules and there is law that is prescribed for poll watchers to be present, deals with credentialing them and that kind of thing. I've been after this for months, as of months, as have the other members to say, you know, what's the process for obtaining credentials? What is the process for attending election night reporting? And we finally got the word that we will not be allowed to be there.
- [56:46]
C
I want to have this, a quote from Garland, by the way, just the secretary of state. The see all the senior officials in the Georgia state government are Republicans, are they not? They're part of Brian Kemp's machine.
- [56:59]
J
They are Republicans.
- [57:02]
C
I want to quote, Garland favorito this quote, this a quote. The secret aggregation of election results is a clear violation of state election transparency law, which requires all election officials to conduct all election activities in public, end quote. Is there anything in the Georgia code that's open to interpretation on this very matter, ma'?
- [57:25]
H
Am?
- [57:26]
L
No.
- [57:27]
J
And there is nothing to preclude us from attending as well, Steve. I mean, there is nothing that says that we are not allowed to be there. Everything is very clear in the code and our legislature and their divine wisdom, you know, wrote these laws. You know, there are things that need to be corrected as far as conducting our elections, like not using the ballot marking devices and things of that nature. But they have done that when they did. Senate Bill 189. There's a lot of issues here, Steve. And to have people excluded when there should be proper oversight in watching the returns and ensuring. Now, I have been told that they don't. They don't make any changes down at the Bunker. And if you remember, Steve, our Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling, who was running for Secretary of state, who worked under Brad Raffensperger, said, you know, Georgia's had the cleanest elections in the country and, you know, all the things are fine. There's nothing to see here. Well, my question is, if there's nothing to see, if there's no issue, then why are you trying to keep us out? Why can't we be there? If the elections are perfect, wouldn't you want to show that off? Wouldn't you want us to see how perfect they are?
- [58:38]
B
It's.
- [58:38]
C
Hang on for a second. Hang on. We're going to go to break. Sally Grubs is with us. But it's also the point, this aggregation center in Fulton county, the Bunker, they call it. It's not like you're some election official from some county in northwest Georgia or you're some. For some, you're on the state election board, one of the handful. It's not a huge election, but one of the handful of people that are appointed. You have a direct U5. You have a fiduciary responsibility. You personally have a fiduciary responsibility to fulfill your office. This is what's so. This is what's so. And, and, and they're just Raffensberg and these guys are just in your face, in your grill. These are Republicans. I want people. This is not just the Fulton county gangsters and thugs. We know they're thugs. This is also the state officials. That part of this. Sally, just hang on for a second. We're gonna take a short commercial break. Sally Grubb from the Georgia State Election Board, one of the five is with us. Unbelievable. In elections tomorrow. The primary is tomorrow. Also the president coming out and talking about health care affordability topic many people have questioned. People are saying they have questions. President Trump's going to answer them all next. In the war room, everyone's focus on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at my Patriot Supply come in.
